Two of my daughters and a friend also witnessed this.it lasted about 4 seconds. It was a long bright streak that broke up into about 4 or 5 pieces. It was cloudy enough that you couldn't see stars,but this showed through brightly. On a clear night it would had to have been spectacular. Hopefully others saw this as well. Looking forward to hearing more information about this. Thank you.
